"That feels so good," Jess mumbled into the pillow. "Why haven't you been giving me massages for years now?"
Andy laughed. "Because I've never been the cause of your pain until now."
Jess grinned. "If I get this after, you can do that to me anytime. You're good at this."
Andy let the comment go. He'd been told by girlfriends that he sucked at massages. They complained his hands were too rough, too strong. "Do you want me to fix you something to eat?"
Jess shook his head. "No, too tired. I'm going to sleep. I have to work at ten tomorrow."
"Are you okay with everything? You're not upset by what we did?"
Jess turned to look at him. "No, I loved every minute of it. It just took a lot out of me. I'm honestly okay. I know Al told you to take care of me, but I honestly just want to sleep. I'm not traumatized because my best friend spanked me. Go home and go to bed. We can talk about this later if you need to, but I'm okay with everything." He reached out and placed a hand on Andy's arm. "Thank you for doing it for me."
Andy gave him a nod. "Sleep well. I'll lock the door behind me. Call me when you get time this week."
"I will." Jess turned over and closed his eyes.
Andy stood, took the lotion back to the bathroom, grabbed his dirty clothes, then shut off the lights, and locked the apartment. As he made his way to his car, he wondered how his life had become so confusing and how he was supposed to make it all normal again.
CHAPTER EIGHT
Jess stepped out the back door of the restaurant and took a deep breath, taking in several gulps of fresh air. Usually, he didn't mind the smell of Italian food for hours on end as he worked, but tonight it was getting to him. He'd put in too many hours this week and was starting to feel it. His back ached, feet throbbed, and he wanted nothing more than to go home, grab a shower, and go to bed.
The good news was that between the extra hours he'd pick up and the increased money he'd been making with Al and Andy, he wasn't behind on his bills this month. He'd be able to pay everything on time without worry he was going to have to put in a few extra video sessions to catch up.
Thinking of Al and Andy caused his cock to stir. The things they'd been doing excited him and he couldn't wait to see what else they would do together. It was strange to think of Andy sexually, but it was impossible not to after everything they'd done. It shocked him that Andy was willing to do it all. He'd been sure Andy would run after the first time, but he'd shocked him and come back for more.
The memory of Andy's hard cock against his own had given him plenty of fantasies. Even though there'd been sweatpants between them, he had still felt Andy's arousal against his own as he'd been spanked. Jess had wanted to start thrusting, fucking that small space between Andy's legs as he let their cocks rub against each other. He'd resisted, afraid that would be too much for Andy, but the images of it in his mind had been more than enough to help get him off.
He slung his backpack over his shoulder and started the short walk home wondering what Andy would pick to do on Friday. Having Al give Andy control of the night had been a shock, but a good one. He trusted Andy, and knew whatever he picked would be safe. He was surprised Andy had agreed to do it. For a guy he thought was straight, he was showing signs that wasn't really the case. Jess was starting to think that Andy was probably bisexual and just starting to figure out that he liked men as well as women. He wasn't sure how to bring it up with Andy, so he was just letting things play out. During the last two sessions, Andy's arousal had been evident, and though he hadn't acted on it, Jess had wanted to. He'd longed to reach out and touch Andy in a way he'd never wanted to before. He wanted to take their friendship to another level. The only thing holding him back was the fear that it might hurt their relationship. Andy had been the only normal in his life for years and he wasn't going to do anything to risk that. If anything was going to happen between them, Andy would have to be the one to start it.
"Hey," a man called from behind Jess.
He turned to see a guy from one of his classes. "Keith, good to see you." With all the apartments in the area, he wasn't really shocked to see someone he knew. The guy was about his age, and hot as hell. He wore shorts and a t-shirt, and from the sweat dripping down the man's neck, it looked as if he'd been running.
"You live around here?" Keith asked.
"About two blocks from here. You?"
"Over in Sandhill apartments. I was doing my nightly run through the area when I saw you. Have you lived in the area long?"
"A few years. It's close to campus and work," Jess explained as he gestured to the uniform he still wore.
"Ah, Lembetti's is one of my favorite places to eat. I don't know how I haven't seen you around here before today." Keith smiled. "I've been meaning to try and talk to you between classes, but never seem to catch you." A slight blush worked up Keith's neck. "I was wondering if you might want to go out one night."
It had been a long time since Jess had gone out on a date. Between work and school, he just didn't have much time, but he missed dating, and Keith was hot. "I don't have a lot of free time between work and classes, but I'd like that if we could find a time that works for both of us." His heart pounded as if this was the first time he'd ever been asked out by a guy. He couldn't recall the last time someone had asked him out. He'd found hook-ups at the bar from time to time, but actually going on a date had been rare.
"I work most evenings too, but I have weekends free if you do." Keith ran his hand through his golden hair. Even after running, it was perfect.
Jess thought about his schedule. "I'm free Saturday night or Sunday."
"Saturday would be good. Dinner at Bella's?" Keith asked.
Bella's was a nice restaurant in the area. One that Jess had only been to once. He just couldn't afford it. "That sounds perfect." His stomach fluttered at the thought of going on an actual date.
"Can I get your address so I can pick you up?" Keith pulled out his phone.
"Sure." Jess gave him his address and phone number, then smiled as Keith sent a message to Jess's phone so he'd have Keith's number.
"I'm glad I saw you today. I've seriously wanted to ask you out for a while now. Anyway, I'll let you get home and relax, but I'll see you at six Saturday night if that works for you."
"It does. I'll see you then. I'm looking forward to it as well." Jess smiled, trying not to think too much into this, but the thought of actually going out, maybe getting laid had him excited. He gave a small wave before watching Keith start to jog back down the sidewalk.
Jess was grinning for the rest of his walk home. He'd forgotten how good it felt to have someone ask him out. His ego needed the boost. His life was a mess, and he really didn't have time for a relationship, but he wasn't going to turn down the chance to go out and get to know Keith. He'd take it day by day and see what happened.
Once home, he showered and changed into a pair of old shorts before sinking down on the couch. He debated for a second on getting online and finding a quick client to make some quick cash from, but he really wasn't in the mood. He had a client on Thursday, then Al on Friday, then if he was lucky, he might be getting the real thing on Saturday. With the extra cash he was getting from Al, he could go without doing a video session that wasn't on his normal schedule.
He flipped on the T.V. and relaxed, enjoying not having to do anything. Moments like this were rare. A knock on the door surprised him. He got up and grinned when he saw Andy standing there. He quickly worked the lock and let him in. "Hey, I didn't expect to see you."
"I know I should have called, but hoped you'd be home." Andy walked in.
"Want a beer?"
"Sure. I'm not interrupting anything, am I? You don't have any clients tonight?"
"Nah, I have the night off for a change. Well, some of it. I just got home." Jess pulled two beers out of the fridge and handed one to Andy before heading back to the couch. He muted the T.V. and turned to him. "What's up with you?"
Andy shrugged. "Not
much. I just wanted to talk to you about a couple of things before Friday and figured it might be easier face to face."
"What kind of things?" Jess asked, curious what couldn't be talked about over the phone.
"Well, you heard Al say I should decide on what we do. I kinda wanted your input on things so I didn't plan something you hated."
Jess held up a hand. "I trust you. I want it to be a surprise. I don't want to give you suggestions. As long as you're comfortable with it, then go for it. There isn't much I'd say no to."
"You're really that open to things?" Andy asked.
Jess didn't figure Andy for being into anything dangerous, so he nodded. "For the most part. Don't scar me for life or make it so I can't move on Saturday. I finally got a date and need to be able to move for that."
"A date?" Andy's eyes went wide.
"Yeah, can you believe it? A guy from one of my classes asked me out. We're going to dinner on Saturday. Do you know how long it's been since I've been out with someone? He's hot too. I wouldn't mind the date ending with us in bed. I might get off on video all the time, but it's been forever since I've been with someone."
Andy nodded. "That's great. I hope it works out."
Jess shrugged. "It's one date. We'll see how it goes. It just feels good to get asked out again."
"Yeah, I imagine. You haven't been out with anyone but me in ages." Andy took a long drink of his beer. "Anyway, you really are okay with anything I plan? Did you mean what you said a while back about wanting to be tied up and whipped?"
Jess's cock stirred. "Yeah, I meant that, but I need you comfortable too. Don't do anything you aren't into. I know you're only doing this for the money and probably don't get off on it the way Al and I do, so it's okay if you just want to keep doing the things we've done. Al likes you watching me, so it can be as simple as you telling me to fuck myself with something and you watching it all happen. Don't stress over making this into something big because Al told you to pick something to do."
Andy took another drink of beer. "So what's this guy like?"
"Who?"
"The guy that asked you out?"
"Oh, he's hot, blond hair, blue eyes, a body that I could get lost in. He's a nursing student. We have several classes together. We've talked a bit in class, but never anything personal. He happened to see me walking home tonight and asked me out. I don't have a lot of time to build a relationship with someone, but if he's willing to hook-up from time to time, I'd love that. Maybe we can even double date when you meet someone new."
"Maybe." Andy stared at the muted T.V. for a moment. "Can I look at your toys? See what you have? It might help me plan better if I know what I have to work with."
"Sure." Jess stood. "Everything is in that drawer next to the bed." He flipped on the bedroom light, then knelt beside the bed, pulling open the bottom drawer of his nightstand. "I'll pick up some more lube before Friday. I'm low. The only thing in here that might be an issue is that purple dildo. Usually, when I use it, I stretch myself out using other toys before Al calls. So if you plan on using that, either prepare for a long night while I stretch or let me know in advance so I can do it before our call."
Andy knelt beside him and looked into the drawer filled with vibrators, dildos, and several pairs of nipple clamps. "What's this?" He held up a plastic looped thing.
"It goes around the balls or the cock. You can use it in several ways. I usually tie my balls with it. It's supposed to increase pressure and keep you from coming so quickly. They're okay. Not something I use often as I'm usually performing for a client who wants to see me come." Jess pulled out another toy. "You know about cock rings, right?"
"Yeah." Andy nodded. "Tried it once, but didn't like it."
"They aren't for everyone," Jess agreed.
Andy looked through the drawer, asking a few more questions, but for the most part, seemed to know what everything was and how it was used.
"Don't overthink this and stress on it. Whatever we do will be good. Al knows you're not into men, so he'll be looking for you to tell me what to do to myself. He likes to see me use any of this on myself." Jess hoped Andy wasn't getting nervous and thinking about backing out. He figured sooner or later things would get to be too much for Andy to handle and he'd quit joining them. He'd been shocked when Andy came back a second time and agreed to spank him.
"I won't. I was just thinking about it and wondered what you had available." Andy stood. "When did you start buying all the toys?"
"When I started doing videos. Clients like to see me fuck myself and I figured having a variety on hand was good. It's kind of a game with my regulars. I can lay them out for them to see and they can pick what I use on myself."
"Do you have any limits?" Andy asked.
"Not really that I can think of. I'm sure there are some things I won't do, but they would be so crazy that I don't think anyone would ask me to. I really enjoy being watched, and I've liked the spanking and stuff so far. I want to explore more, but I know I'm limited what I can do on video. Maybe someday I'll meet a guy into the same stuff I'm into. Hell, maybe Keith is, but I'm not about to tell a guy I'm going on a first date with about my video job."
"Yeah, that might not go well." Andy turned away and headed back to the living room.
Jess shut the drawer and followed. "You okay?"
"Yeah, just had a long day. I'll be okay once I get some sleep. I'm going to go. I'll be back on Friday for our call with Al." He tossed the empty beer into the trash. "Thanks for the beer."
"Anytime." Jess reached out and touched Andy's arm. "Don't stress over this, okay? I know it's weird and I'll understand if you don't want to do it anymore. The extra money is nice, but I don't want it to end up changing anything about our friendship. If you'd rather I plan something for Friday, I can."
Andy shook his head. "I'm okay. I have a few ideas now that I know what you have available, and our friendship is too strong for anything to ruin it. Like I said, I'm just tired. I'll see you on Friday, okay?" He pulled the door open and stepped outside.
"Yeah, see you then." Jess watched as Andy ran down to his car. He wasn't sure what it was, but something was bothering Andy. He prayed it wasn't anything to do with the calls with Al. He knew better than to push Andy for answers. When he was ready to talk, he would. For now, all he could do was wait and hope it was nothing more than a long day.
With thoughts of his upcoming date on his mind, Jess locked the door and shut off the lights. He'd let his imagination go and think of all the things he could do with Keith if their date was a success. The question was, could Keith put up with Jess's busy schedule? They were questions that didn't need answers yet. There was time to see how things played out.
Comfortable in bed, he closed his eyes and hoped to dream.
CHAPTER NINE
Andy dumped several Tylenol in his hand and popped them into his mouth, swallowing them dry. He hadn't been able to knock the headache that seemed to last for days. He knew it was a mix of work and stress causing it, but no matter how he tried to relax, he couldn't.
He could pinpoint the moment the headache started. It had been when Jess had told him he'd been asked out. The wave of jealousy that had hit Andy at that moment had caught him off guard. Jess was his, and he didn't want to share him with anyone else. But that was crazy because Andy wasn't gay. At least he hadn't thought he was until recently. Now he just didn't know for sure what he felt.
With what they'd shared over the last few weeks, he found himself wondering if there could be more. For the first time in his life, he had fantasies about being with another man. No, not another man, just Jess. No other man caught his attention or made him want the things Jess made him desire.
Could you be gay for just one guy? Was that a thing? He guessed it would mean he was bisexual, not gay. He still found women attractive, still thought about their soft curves and lush bodies, but now he was also thinking about what it might feel like to take Jess's cock in his hand and jack him off. He love
d spanking him and longed to do it again. Wanted to watch as Jess fucked himself with another toy. Hell, if he was honest, he wanted to be the one pushing that dildo into his best friend's ass. How fucked up was that? They'd been friends for years, and now everything was changing. Did Jess feel it too? Probably not if he was accepting a date from another guy.
Andy had no right to be jealous of this Keith guy, but he was. He wanted to find a way to keep Jess from going out, but what kind of friend did that make him? Jess deserved to be happy and despite his sudden attraction to Jess, Andy wasn't sure he could be what Jess needed in his life. They were playing around right now to make money and that's all it was.
Maybe he should go find some random guy and fuck him to see if that was what he liked, but he didn't want some random guy. He wanted Jess.
Frustrated, he grabbed the bag of things he'd bought from the passenger seat of his truck and headed to Jess's apartment. They had a half-hour before Al would be calling and that would give Jess time to make sure the camera could catch everything he planned on doing. He hoped the guys enjoyed it.
He'd spent hours researching things online, and he loved what he learned. He'd gotten himself off watching bondage porn more times this week than he'd probably come in the last year. He found himself fantasizing about Jess kneeling before him. He wanted to mark his body with whips, caress him with gentle touches, and push him to the point of so aroused that he was begging for release. He also wanted to fuck him, but he hadn't exactly come to terms with those emotions yet. He decided to start out slow and not take things too far tonight. He'd test Jess and see how much he was willing to do.
He walked into the apartment without knocking and wasn't surprised to find Jess already in the bedroom, wearing a pair of dark green underwear. He looked good. "Hey."
"Should I be nervous?" Jess asked as he nodded to the bag.
"Maybe." Andy grinned. "We'll know soon enough. I'm not telling you anything until it's time. I want you surprised by it all."
